Blackstone Code

"Mr. Lynch!"

Lin Qi stood on the steps and looked at the two young men he was very familiar with. Looking at their appearance at this time, he couldn't help but laugh.

"It looks like you're doing well, Noel, Fern." He walked down the steps and hugged the two teenagers under their surprised eyes.

This is a courtesy that Lynch rarely shows. He always shakes hands with people and rarely hugs. Firstly, hugging is a way to express closeness. Secondly, this kind of etiquette is not suitable for everyone.

But the Brothers Grimm are different. They are technically Lynch's "sons" because when they first went through the adoption procedures, they had to follow the existing federal adoption procedures, which is to adopt a child or an elderly person, rather than recognizing a younger brother or something. of.

The federal judicial process is sometimes very rigid. In fact, it is entirely possible for Lynch to become a self-help agent for the children in these orphanages at the beginning, or to recognize some younger brothers. His willingness to assume these social responsibilities is his business, and the Social Services Bureau should not stop him. he.

But the Social Services Bureau told him that if he wanted to take these people out of the orphanage, he must adopt them. According to the laws and relevant interpretations currently used by the federal government, adoption can only be divided into two situations.

First, adopt a child.

Some couples are unable to have children due to physiological reasons, but they still hope to have children, and adoption is their best choice.

Of course, there are some people who have discovered opportunities in this. They will adopt a child almost every few years to defraud the special subsidies issued by the government. Some people have even turned this business into an industrial chain.

But anyway, the first adoption situation is when the older person adopts the adoptee and becomes his adopted son, the younger person.

The second situation is to adopt the elderly.

This kind of situation also exists. Some of them really want to take on some social responsibilities, or make up for some lack of emotion in some aspects. There is no shortage of all kinds of weird people in the Federation.

The Bureau of Social Services has such a provision, which means that someone has gone to court for such a thing before pushing for legislation.

Adopting elderly people is not always a well-intentioned act. There are also some people who are like those who adopt children professionally. They will adopt old people who are dying or have serious diseases, and then wait for these old people to die suddenly in the next few months, and then They can get funeral expenses and some additional subsidies and even insurance from the government.

For only a small amount of money, they can burn the bodies of these old people through certain channels, and then directly find a place to dump them without even preparing a tomb.

Adopting an elderly person is like a gamble, and one with a high chance of winning.

Welfare homes are not all welfare, nor are they all sunny. Places that are profitable can attract people's attention, even if doing these things will make people's hands stained with blood.

Let’s not discuss these social issues. There are people who adopt children, and there are people who adopt children as their own elders, but I have never heard of people adopting peers. Therefore, the Social Services Bureau gave Lynch only two options. .

Either he becomes the father of these children, or these children become his father. As for age, that is another question.

In line with the principle of "who can be the father if I am not the father," Lynch became the "adoptive father" of these children in the legal sense, so this naturally made his relationship with these teenagers closer.

Noel is the older brother. He is older. He wears a very exquisite suit with a red and off-white checkered vest, a star-studded tie with a blue background, and a long windbreaker on the outside. , wearing a black jazz hat with a red ribbon under the hat post, giving people a very energetic and capable feeling, like the old city.

Fern is the younger brother. He is slightly shorter and dressed almost the same as Noel, except for the different colors. Noel’s clothes are based on dark and red colors, while Fern’s clothes are dark and blue. It’s worth it. One thing to mention is that his tie has a red background and a star-gloss finish, which is exactly the opposite of Noel's.

The two people standing together have a seventy-point similarity in appearance, and with the help of these clothes, they have at least ninety-nine points of similarity.

In addition to these, the most important thing is their spirit. It is no longer like they have not fully adapted to the current life before Lynch left. They seem to have adapted.

Lynch patted their arms and asked, "How is the situation in the city recently?"

Noel nodded and said, "Fortunately, there is no big problem. We will arrange for someone to watch it every day."

Lynch was very satisfied with the two people's responsible attitude towards work. Lynch could not take care of the situation here when he was outside and could only rely on the people here to take responsibility for him.

That guy Richard, Lynch, planned to send him to Gaevra. Since he liked money so much and wanted to go it alone, Lynch gave him a chance to create his own glorious life in Gaevra.

Vera mainly moves all the funds of the boss, and she is a woman who also has to take care of the children. Her personality is not strong enough to help Lynch take care of these difficult people. Only the Grimm Brothers are the most suitable.

"I heard that you often fight with others?" Lynch suddenly asked.

The two brothers looked at each other, and Noel finally decided to tell the truth. There was nothing he could hide from Lynch in this city, and he knew this very well.

"Yes, Mr. Lynch, some people take our raw materials and machinery and resell them. If we don't do something, people will soon learn what they do, and your business will encounter problems."

Lynch nodded, "Okay, I won't blame you, but there's something wrong with your technique. Come on, let's talk as we walk, it's a bit cold here."

Fern helped Lynch carry the suitcase he carried with him, glanced at the sergeant who was following not far away, and caught up with Lynch and Noel in a few steps.

"In the federal government, intentional injury is a felony. Regardless of whether you have caused terrible consequences, the jury will not be on your side, so you can't go directly to trouble them."

"But physical collisions are different. For example, if you 'accidentally' bumped into those people while running..." Lynch stretched out his hand and pressed on Noel's waist, which made Noel bend down and did not recover for a long time. gas.

Lynch learned this trick in a small room. A truly ruthless person would not touch the hardest bones of others with his fists, but he would also control his lethality.

"Look, I didn't use much force. Remember this place. When you hit someone with your shoulder in this area while running fast, they are very likely to rupture their spleen, and you..."

Lynch shrugged, "It's just that I accidentally hit a passerby while chasing on the street. As for the other charges, I will arrange a lawyer to help you or your subordinates solve them, but you must remember that we are businessmen and we do not do anything illegal." thing!"

After taking several breaths, Noel finally recovered and straightened up, holding his waist. He couldn't even stand up straight. The stinging pain just now turned into waves of spasm-like pain, making him unable to even breathe. pain.

It's better now, but I still feel pain if I straighten my body.

He nodded, sweating coldly, "Yes, I understand, Mr. Lynch."

Lynch patted him on the shoulder, "Scientists tell us that pain can be extremely effective in helping us convert what happened into memory. I hope you can remember this."

While they were talking, they had already reached the roadside, still some distance away from Ferrara. Lynch stopped and took the suitcase from Fern's hand. He looked at the two brothers, "I'll say it again, we We are businessmen and we don’t do anything illegal, but many accidents happen every day in this world.”

"Injuries from street chases, car out-of-control, objects falling from heights, accidents happen every day. I have enough financial resources to prove to society that accidents are just accidents after all, but I can't confuse right and wrong and make people indifferent to crimes. , Do you understand what I mean?" He tilted his head slightly, looking at the two half-old children.

Both of them nodded, "Yes, Mr. Lynch, we understand."

"Very good, I will let Vera allocate part of the company's shares to you, and it's almost time for you to have your own business!" He paused as he spoke, giving the two brothers some time to digest these words, "I I still have some personal matters to discuss with Mr. Ferral. Thank you very much for coming to pick me up and making me feel like I'm home. I'll discuss the rest when we meet tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

As he spoke, he spread his arms and hugged the two teenagers again before saying goodbye to each other and getting into the car on the side of the road.

As soon as he sat down firmly and closed the car door to isolate the temperature inside and outside, Lynch suddenly felt much warmer.

The car has started, Ferrara is driving the car himself, his expression is very focused, just like a real driver.

But he's not really a driver after all, and he's soon to be mayor of the city.

"How's the campaign going?" he asked casually, taking off his hat and gloves, which made him a little bloated.

"The problem is not very big. Thanks to your help, we are now facing a much better situation than before. The governors are very happy, and they feel that there is a great opportunity."

A considerable part of the businessmen that Lynch entertained in Mengwu Province came from Sabine City. When these businessmen began to re-invest in production there, the bank would slightly soften its attitude towards them, and with the help of Lynch Moreover, Jinhui was also willing to issue an additional batch of business credit loans for them, which indirectly improved the situation in Sabine City and even the entire state.

In a desperate situation, even if it gets worse, people won't notice much change. It's all terrible anyway, but even a slight improvement will be noticed immediately.

Because there, there is only a slight improvement, and it is like a light shining into the abyss!

Polls are the most direct feedback. It cannot be said that the election is an absolute victory, but it is not difficult to win.

Lynch curled his lips, and he turned his attention to Ferrara, "What about you?"
